The Struggle between Love and Righteousness
The Struggle between Love and Righteousness
The theme that the Lord placed on my heart for this morning’s message is a topic that is seen throughout every book of the bible. God’s incredible and unconditional love for us is the central thread that is woven throughout every story and encounter that we read about. God is
love and the bible tells the story of the love of a Father for His children.
But the bible also clearly says that God is Righteous and Holy from Genesis to Revelation. He never changes and it is not possible for sin or corruption to ever be in His presence even for a brief

@RageSheen I think to an extent this is a somewhat privileged take, for those removed from the day to day struggle for existence, for those who need little and want little from society, or community, & who have the agency to cut themselves off from it (to a greater degree).
@RageSheen I also think it's a somewhat narcissistic & introvert take, arguably putting introversion on a pedestal, expressing schadenfreude at the harms befalling those who are more extrovert
@RageSheen There's also a fair bit of truth in it however, for those with wealth & agency, we can sit back, sit apart, and let the world burn. Whether that's with disinterest, delight, or grudging acceptance that try as we might we can't materially change its course as individuals
Current AI meme meta is basically same market behaviour as any other meta that we’ve seen before.
Animal memecoins/NFTs/DeFi summer coins etc all had an initial spark, and then leading to the creation of betas where people chase and chase non stop. No exceptions.

The end game is basically a power law distribution.
Usually the thing that sparked off the whole run ends up getting majority of the value accruing back to it
eg:
-Doge/Shib for animal memes
-Crypto Punks for NFTs (later Pudgys)
-AAVE/UNI for DeFi
Probably same for AI memes

The Fed can raise the rate over the risk free rate only at Fed Funds instantaneous rate but can have USTreas rates below risk free rate at any maturity. So Fed yield curve control can only impose a flatter than actual yield curve, never steeper than actual.
Even then, that was rarely used until January 2022 to date. And even then long maturity risk free never is a tightening or an ease.
What QE and QT effect is to quickly change reserve levels, with QE being the large rise in reserve levels. QT is slightly lowering reserve levels.

The only valid justification for Bitcoin—or any system claiming to revolutionise monetary transactions—is if it can demonstrate greater efficiency than existing systems such as banks.
Efficiency in this context means achieving the same or better outcomes while consuming fewer resources, whether those be financial, technological, or environmental.
If Bitcoin consumes more energy, requires greater infrastructure, or introduces more complexity than traditional banking systems, any claim of "saving" money or resources is either deeply ignorant or fundamentally dishonest.

If Bitcoin consumes more energy, requires greater infrastructure, or introduces more complexity than traditional banking systems, any claim of "saving" money or resources is either deeply ignorant or fundamentally dishonest.
Existing monetary systems, such as banks, have spent decades refining their processes to minimise inefficiencies. They process millions of transactions daily with established mechanisms that, while not perfect, are relatively efficient given their scale and purpose. Bitcoin, on the other hand, demands immense amounts of computational power and energy for even the most basic transaction verification.
The mining process alone is a glaring example of inefficiency, with energy consumption that dwarfs that of entire countries. For all this expenditure, Bitcoin transactions remain slower and costlier, especially when scaling is considered, compared to traditional banking or payment systems.

Claiming that Bitcoin is a "saver" or that it improves on existing systems requires proof that it does more for less. If it requires more energy, more infrastructure, and results in slower or more costly transactions, the opposite is true—it is an exercise in wastefulness. The only way Bitcoin could rightfully claim an advantage would be if it could reduce the economic or resource burden currently carried by banks and monetary systems.
As things stand, to argue otherwise is to ignore the very real costs involved, or worse, to intentionally mislead people about the true nature of the system’s inefficiencies.

The argument that bitcoin "saves" energy compared to other activities is deeply flawed because it hinges on a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to "save" energy.
To save something is to preserve it for future use, to keep it in reserve, or to make it available for other purposes.
Energy, once expended, is not something you can get back. When it’s used in the process of running bitcoin transactions, that energy is gone, dissipated into the environment as heat or lost through inefficiency, never to be recovered.
It’s not saved, it’s spent—permanently.

The very nature of bitcoin’s energy consumption is akin to pouring energy into a black hole. It requires constant input to maintain the system, and this input yields nothing of lasting value in terms of energy efficiency.
You don’t store or recover energy in this process. In fact, you must continually expend more to keep it running. It's a bottomless pit of consumption with no real returns on the energy that’s already been used. If anything, this system is an ongoing expenditure, not a savings.

The notion of "saving" energy while continuing to fuel bitcoin is like claiming that you’re saving water while constantly pouring it down a drain. The rhetoric doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, and invoking the term "saving" in this context misrepresents the reality of energy use, which is an irreversible commitment of resources with no opportunity for recovery or reallocation.
The claim that BTC "saves" energy is fundamentally misleading and reflects a profound misunderstanding of both economics and physics.
BTC is not Bitcopin, but both use POW.

Thread. I don’t think people know how far things have gone. This is an actual paper that talks about taking testosterone while pregnant!
It says that guarding against an unhealthy baby is “troubling”! It’s troubling now to want a healthy baby!!! 1/

If you can get through all the gobbledygook, it says that focusing on having a healthy baby is potentially harmful for “trains” people. 2/
The authors think it’s controlling to focus on having a healthy baby. They find it troubling that you’d want to protect your child from autism, obesity, disorders of six development, or being trains.
They find this to be a method of social control that prevents some of their own disorders. They also think it unfairly elevates the doctor’s opinions about health above their own. 3

Blair and Clinton: The Third Way Dossier by @JohnnyVedmore with Key Researcher Darren Kenton
This is how British and American politicians deserted their left-wing political leanings to implement a new centre-ground political ideology. The “Third Way” politics, which both Clinton and Blair adopted into the Democratic Party and the Labour Party respectively, saw the suppression of the left and right wings and began to synthesise the two nations into a singular ideological pole of far-west Globalism.
The political powder keg of the Western world has been purposely rigged to explode, with our societies primed to be decimated as a result. The far right is on the rise, and the far left will surely follow. The predictable ascendency of the two wings of the political spectrum is the direct consequence of a certain ideology. Its success has seen all major political parties in the United States and the United Kingdom lurch towards the centre ground, while at the same time purging and suppressing the natural left and right wings of their own political parties. This is the story of how a handful of elite politicians and sociologists have led us to a state of deep division and perpetual unrest.
There are only a handful of leaders who have had such an enormous impact on shaping the world we live in as the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and his American counterpart, Bill Clinton. Some of the consequences of their actions while in office will reverberate around the world for decades to come. In this article we’ll trace the training of the New Labour elite via a range of programs, including Rockefeller-founded deep-state leadership programmes, official American election campaigns, and via courses emanating from prestigious universities such as Harvard.
From as early as 1984, the future New Labour top brass were being systematically selected and trained within the halls of elite universities such as Harvard and MIT, where they were being directly influenced by movers and shakers such as Larry Summers, Robert Reich and Bill Clinton. This new wave of centre-left politicians was being influenced by an alternative political ideology, or maybe it should be referred to as a new political magic trick, called the “Third Way”. Its creator Anthony Giddens was once described as “the originator of Tony Blair’s ‘Third Way’ politics” by Daily Mail journalist Michael Seamark, and Giddens’ influence on the relationship which formed between America and Britain cannot be understated.
When Tony Blair was elected as Prime Minister, he didn’t only align the United Kingdom with American foreign policy, Blair also aligned the UK with Bill Clinton’s New Democrat version of Third Way centrism. This is the story of how Blair and Clinton used Giddens’s teachings to force the US and UK to become a far-Western pole of multi-polar Globalism.

Now, if we really want to drive home just how ridiculous Bitcoin Core’s energy consumption is, let’s compare it to something equally ludicrous: taking a tank across America to perform one single transaction—let's say, buying a cup of coffee.
Let’s assume we’re dealing with an M1 Abrams tank, a heavy vehicle often used by the U.S. military, and we’re driving it from New York to Los Angeles, a trip of approximately 2,800 miles (around 4,500 kilometers). The M1 Abrams consumes about 3 gallons of fuel per mile when driving on a paved road.

Imagine the absurdity of driving an M1 Abrams tank across America just to pay for a cup of coffee. The M1 Abrams consumes 3 gallons of fuel per mile, and the trip from New York to Los Angeles (2,800 miles) would require around 8,400 gallons of fuel. One gallon of diesel fuel contains approximately 40.7 kWh of energy, meaning the entire trip would consume 341,880 kWh.
Now, let’s compare that to Bitcoin Core (BTC). A single BTC transaction consumes 584.5 kWh. With the energy required to drive that tank across the U.S., you could perform 585 Bitcoin transactions.
But here’s the kicker: just like it’s absurd to use a 60-ton tank for a simple coffee transaction, it’s equally absurd that BTC burns through more energy than it takes to drive that tank coast-to-coast. The sheer waste in both scenarios is staggering.

The distance from New York to Los Angeles is 2,800 miles.
An M1 Abrams tank consumes 3 gallons of fuel per mile.
For the entire trip, the tank would need 8,400 gallons of fuel. This is calculated by multiplying 2,800 miles by 3 gallons per mile.
One gallon of diesel fuel contains 40.7 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy.
The total energy consumption for the tank trip is 8,400 gallons multiplied by 40.7 kWh, which equals 341,880 kWh of energy.
One Bitcoin Core (BTC) transaction consumes 584.5161 kWh of energy.
To calculate how many BTC transactions could be powered by the same energy as the tank trip, divide 341,880 kWh by 584.5161 kWh. This results in approximately 584.77 transactions.
At a rate of 7 transactions per second (TPS), you take 585 transactions and divide by 7 TPS. This equals 83.57 seconds to process these transactions.
